We’d much rather crank up our trusty GBC and kickstart some of best GameBoy Color games on a reliable handheld that doesn’t buffer every time the character moves. The Nintendo Switch Vita has its benefits a bright screen, it fits nicely in your hands, and at a push, it could be used to stabilise a wonky table. There’s too much plastic in the world as it is, so we should do the world a solid and not add more broken shards to our local landfill dump. It has a camera which doesn’t work brilliantly, the buttons feel like something from a child’s playset, and the analog sticks are very poor.
We tried playing Crash Bandicoot on this thing and almost threw it against the wall in anger. Yes, you can play some of your favourite old games on it, but just buy a GBA on eBay for $40 and play them properly. It looks like a PSP, plays like an old floppy disk game, feels as cheap as reduced penny sweets, and doesn’t have removable controllers. This Nintendo Switch Vita is, for want of a better word, pants. Give me a second while I have a cup of tea and calm down. I’m only on number 9 and I’m already too angry to carry on.

The PolyStation had a slot in the back to store a controller and sometimes came with an XBOX controller instead of one that replicated the PS2 design. Is this a handheld, I hear you cry? If by handheld you mean a lump of plastic with a screen that hardly works, then yeah, it is. It ran off AA batteries, and that pull-out disc tray was actually a screen. Still, many kids in the 2000’s had one of these 8bit wonders. If you have glaucoma and squint a little, then this thing looks just like the PS2, which means that the makers must be in breach of about one-hundred-thousand copyright laws.
How they got away with using the PlayStation logo I’ll never know. The even weirder thing is that people bought this rubbish, and sales were actually pretty good for a while.

This imposter, its full title being the ‘mini PolyStation 2001’, with its cheap plastic controller with a volume knob (what’s that all about), and Microsoft Word text, is the kind of stuff that could ruin Christmas Day forevermore. The Playstation 2 was a console that defined a generation, brought some of our most beloved characters to the forefront of gaming, worked like a charm, and even had a little logo that you could tilt depending on whether you had the console positioned vertically or horizontally. I couldn’t decide whether to leave this one till last, but out of all of the fake consoles, this one makes my blood boil the most. Prepare to be underwhelmed, outraged, and feel a little bit dirty. The numbers are just there for show these fake consoles are all pretty bad, but it’s our job, nay, our duty, to inform you of their presence. Usually, we write these top 10 lists in a specific order, but not today. It’s a virtual pamphlet that you can give to your granny to make sure that she gets you the right Nintendo Switch Lite Accessories for your birthday instead of some cheap plastic knock-off that will make you erupt like Death Mountain, your fiery hatred destroying everyone around you and forcing you to start a Cabin Clan in Kokiri Woods.
Well, think of this as a public service announcement, a warning to the dangers of fake consoles that are infiltrating living rooms across the globe. So why are we taking a break from bringing you breaking news about the N64 Mini, the PS2 Mini, the Creoqode Lyra, or the Retron Jr? But do us all a favour and use one of the best Retropie handhelds or one of our favourite best retro handhelds instead of the monstrosities in this list we’d all sleep much easier at night if you did.

In a society where learning how to install ROMs is just as important as passing your end-of-year-exams, the number of ways in which we can play our favourite games increases every day. It’s a strange sentence to write and an even weirder notion to think about who in their right mind plays these fake consoles, and why do they even exist? In a world where new games and exciting hardware rumours rule the internet, it’s hard to believe that there is a market for fake consoles.
